Hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotypes can be established by methods based on PCR typing and serological typing. The accuracy of these methods depends on their sensitivity and specificity. These should be compared with the reference method, direct sequencing, and analysis of viral genomes. Among the sero
## Abstract The prevalence and the characteristics of hepatitis C virus infection (HCV) in 161 HIVβpositive patients were studied. HCV seroprevalence was determined by enzyme immunoassay and recombinant immunoblot assay (RIBA). Two different reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RTβPCR)
Hepatitis C virus shows substantial nucleotide sequence diversity distributed throughout the viral genome. In the present study genotyping for Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infected patients was based on RFLP analysis of 5 0 UTR and using type specific primers of NS5B regions. It was observed that 60% of
At present eight hepatitis B virus (HBV) genotypes have been characterized: A to H. The most common genotype in Northern Europe is genotype A. So far there is no record of the specific HBV genotype distribution in Iceland. Iceland has a small population whose homogeneity has changed due to increasin
